I think that this is the first time since I started on this site that I put the word "content" as my mood. I don't know if this is the correct feeling, but it is as good as any mood. I could sleep another two or three hours, but that is normal for any work week. I am not an early bird by nature, but work is work.

I came across a sticky note that had a list of words on it. I believe that I was reading reverendmother when I wrote this. She was writing about having enough time for everything that has to be done. Well, here goes my first attempt at free form poetry.

Enough time?
work?
food?
shelter?
hope?
faith?
belief?
LOVE?
Do that which is mindful of the Lord.
Use your talents to make
it
Enough for now.


I think that the last phrase says it all- Enough for now.
That is the best anyone can hope or pray for, that they have enough for now. Choices get made, and only later we can see where things may have been different. If I had gone to West Point...(would not have met my husband) If I had stayed in the Army when I got pregnant-well, I would have been medically discharged eventually-I developed asthma. If I had been more patient, if we didn't hit a point 1 step above homeless (good thing-got to say goodbye to my mother before she died)

yes, I know that not every gets enough- food, shelter etc. But I can only work with what I have been blessed with. The time I have now. I need to keep my heart and eyes open.
